딱딱한 옥수수를 말려
깨끗이 닦아 오늘 장날
뻥튀기를 튀겼다

구수한 냄새가 장마당에 퍼진다
지나는 사람들 기웃기웃
뻥뻥 터진다
옥수수가 터진다

Upvoted! Thank you for supporting witness @jswit.

Wow, @dodoim, this post truly captures the essence of Korean 장날 (jangnal)! The image of the dried corn and your vivid description of the 뻥튀기 process are fantastic. I can almost smell the 고소한 (goso-han - nutty/savory) aroma wafting through the 장마당 (jangmadang - market).

The simple, yet powerful, language you use to describe the "뻥뻥" sound and the transformation of the corn is so evocative. It really transports the reader right there with you. This post is a wonderful slice of Korean culture and a reminder of the simple joys of life.

Have you experimented with other grains for 뻥튀기, @dodoim? I'm curious to know if you have any favorite variations or memories associated with this delicious snack! Thanks for sharing!
